Spaceships that look like 20th centuries battleships, thats like those space travelling steam locomotions... I mean that is just too much fiction for me.

Well, both those space travelling steam locomotives (I'm guessing you're referring to Galaxy Express 999) and Space Battleship Yamato were concieved by the same person, Leiji Matsumoto, who also gave us Captain Harlock. And frankly, such wierdness is the 70's for you

This is a remake of 70s anime and that was the age of space travel . The Moon landing in 69 and Star Trek in 66 inspired lot of space fiction . The cultural impact was huge and Japan wasn't far behind

The Battleship shape well its a tribute to a real Japanese Battleship Yamato . Which had become legendary for tenacity and sacrifice during WW2 . So Yamato the Battleship had become a part of contemporary folklore along with Kamikaze . The anime was a tribute in a way to the legendary battleship .

The modern nuke fearing submarine is shaped like a first world war torpedo and is powered by a steam locomotive.
Hell, that steam locomotive in the submarine is also what fires the nukes! talk about progress.
